b-Bid. The President, however, gives stock traders a paternal pat for reflecting jconfi-dence in our economic fu ture by their active bidding up of stocks in recent months. The recent increase of stock! margin requirements by the Federal Reserve the President says in his economics message to Congress, shofrs that the Government is mindful of its great responsibility" prevent a financial boom-arid-bust Tighter money and? rising mxeresi. raies naa warn street guessing, even before the Presl dent tipped his hand. -I Stock traders, bankers and businessmen wonder if the first short steps away from real easy money signal the start of a trend toward definitely money.

They remember: that a move early in 1953 to make money harder helped "put a brake on inflation. I SPECULATIVE FLUBRT Money managers in Washing ton deny they are tryingi to tighten the screws on credit But they show they could move fast to-nip a speculative flurry, before it could develop into a boenvthisf year, to be followed by, a bust next year. The fact that next year ii an election year may or may not have anything to do with the case. The Federal Reserve 5 Board took the first steps lafct fall when, acting on the marked business pickup, it stopped shoveling more money into, the economy. It thus ended ft policy of "active ease." As increased business brought more demand for credit, money got a little tixhtei.

And in recent days the cost ol borrowing has started to Treasury paying th hi eh est price since iecem- ber, 1953 for the money it bor rows each week through its dis count bills. Businessmen Who sell their notes to commercial caper dealers have found the interest they must pay going up; twice of late. The -finance companies who sell their notes to. bankers and investors are paying more interest this week than last It is the first time in 19 months their bor-rowinx costs have gone; up. In fact, since September, 18 tne cost had gone down 10 times.

AVAILABLE BANK CREDIT Bankers, supporting the Fed eral Reserve Board's new policy et letting supply and demand take care of the money at "this time, say that actually i bank credit is still readily avail able' at relative cheap costs. VThe upturn in most business Las Justified the ending el uie board's policy of ctively; easing credit, the bankers say. And the business rains so far give noJ sign of picking up enough speed to threaten a new penoa ci in flation. i The warning that Washington will step hard on any speculative snlarze in the stock market is believed in Wall Street to imply no rebuke to the bulls for carry- in mice to their present levels just a warning not to overdo it The ranks of the bear mean- Lead Stock Market Higher By RADER WINGET NEW YORK, Jan. 21.

The Trade Winds By LOU SCHNEIDER NEW.YORK, Jan. 21. Organized labor's prime target this year is outright repeal of the so-called right to work laws now effective in 17 states. The campaign is approved by top-level leaders of the AFL and CIO. It is going forward with intensity, but without attracting national attention.

That's because the fights are scattered in the States having such laws. UNLISTED STOCK QUOTATIONS time, continue to ThdlabeJ to imp am financial The right-to-work law for- bids a closed shop or any form compulsory union membership. Those who ad vocated the laws gave it the nickname. Labor leaders re gard the name as a propaganda John E. Canipe, sec retary of the Charlotte, N.c.

Local No. 234. AFL-Upholster ers1 International Union, writes giving your reporter this opinion: Every man should enjoy the right to work, anywhere, but there would be no need fori employee protection if employ ers would do what they say they do or are going to do. Adds Canipe: The so-called Right-To-work law guarantees a worker the right to work with out belonging to a labor union. But if the plant or shop has a union contract and it gains a wage increase, this free loader gets the same gains without pay ing union dues.

The free loader benefits even if his plant hasn't! any union contracts but other firms in the same industry sign higher wage union contracts. Canipe infers that the free rider is taking undue advantage of millions of workers who do support labor unions that help to gain wage increases. That be havior isn't equitable and doesn merit a place in the American system of private en terprise. Labor strife this year, cau tion commercial bankers, will be more severe than 1934 now that labor leaders aren't concerned about sustained employment. But they do expect unemploy ment to total above the 3,000,000 figure because the 'labor force is outpacing new jobs.

Statistics reveal that roughly "umber of shares sold short in anticipation of lower prices is lower now than at anjr time siace last June. 1 i And public interest 4ri the trrket continues high.
